Question: 743

12. Which of the following statements correctly describes world population distribution?

• A. World population is evenly distributed.
• B. More than one-half the world's population lives between 60 degrees and 80 degrees north of the equator.
• C. Less than half of the world's population lives north of the equator.
• D. A large majority of the world's population lives on a small part of the world's surface.
• E. The world's population increases sharply with an increase in surface elevation.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

D—More than half of the world's population is concentrated on only 5 percent of the world's land area and two-thirds lives on only 10 percent of the land area. The world's population, in fact, is very unevenly distributed (A) with some parts of the world uninhabited and others very densely populated. The area between 60 degrees and 80 degrees north of the equator is sparsely inhabited because of a very cold climate (B). Over half the world's population lives north of the equator (C). The world's population drastically decreases in numbers with increases in elevation because of increasingly unfavorable living conditions (E).
